Celebrity Manpunzels

Long, flowing locks used to be the domain of Hollywood's female contingent - but no longer, as Tinseltown's males are exploring longer lengths, too. But the question is, do you prefer him with Rapunzel-like tresses or a sharp 'n' short 'do? Let us know in the comments!

Brooklyn BeckhamThe Beckhams' eldest looks smart and dapper with this short 'do.

Brooklyn BeckhamRecently, Brooklyn has been sporting a grown-out longer look complete with a bit of topknot style.Verdict? Sorry Brooklyn, but we're just not convinced by the man bun.

Matt DamonMatt as we're used to seeing him; clean-cut and dashing.

Matt DamonWhere did this man-tail come from? And has it been washed?Verdict? Someone get that man to a barber, pronto.

Daniel RadcliffeAhh, Daniel Radcliffe as we know and love him: with a neat and stylish crop and cleanly-shaven, to boot. What a guy.

Daniel RadcliffeVerdict? ... WTF?

Johnny DeppJohnny Depp has better hair than most women, which means he can even make curtains sexy. Evidence to your left.

Orlando BloomDark and brooding, British babe Orlando Bloom’s good looks have bagged him a Victoria's Secret model wife and we bet it's in no small part thanks to that head of short raven curls.

Rex Features

Orlando BloomBut it was with elfin, silvery long and luscious locks that he first burst onto our screens as a mega hot elf in The Lord Of The Rings, some twelve years ago - and he's been a mainstay on many-a-girl's bedroom wall ever since.Verdict? We do love Orlando but we just love him as Legolas that bit more.

Josh HollowayWoah there, Josh... What happened to the swishy long hair from those Davidoff ads?

Rex Features

Josh HollowayThat's more like it. As resident desert island hunk Sawyer in Lost we can't help but prefer the rugged long-haired look Josh used to sport.Verdict? The answer here, is clear; this guy puts the man in punzel.* Yeah! [i]* We're not overly sure what that last statement quite means, either.

Rex Features

Jared LetoHe's had a fair few 'dos in his time but this super-straight russet-red Cheryl Cole circa 2010-meets-Joan Jett crop isn't really floating our boat.

Rex Features

Jared LetoTo quote The Offspring; Jared looks pretty fly for a white guy - and never more so than when he lets his naturally brunette locks hang loose, long and fancy-free with this lengthy rocker style. In fact, not only is he super hawt, Jared is also way ahead of the curve - note the early pre-trend appropriation of ombre dip-dyeing. #thathappenedVerdict? Serious manpunzel alert.

Rex Features

Ashton KutcherLooking about 19 with this dweeb-tastic 'do, Ashton's a real cutie with a shorn style.

Rex Features

Ashton KutcherAhead of landing the Two And A Half Men gig, Ashton sported, well, what looks like, pretty much a shoulder-length bob. It bagged him hotty Mila Kunis (how, we may never know) so he must have been doing something right - we're just not sure it's this hairstyle.Verdict? Ashton's better with two and a half inches of hair – and not much more.

Rex Features

Heath LedgerThe late, great Heath Ledger was not only one of the most fabulous actors of his generation, he was also a mega babe with a fine head of hair.

Rex Features

Heath LedgerPlaying Renaissance lady-lover Casanova, Heath donned long blonde extensions for the role (and lest we forget his tumbling shoulder-length tresses in 10 Things I Hate About You) and much like with short hair, we pretty much fancied the pants off him then, too.Verdict? Put simply, we will always love Heath.

Rex Features

David BeckhamWorthy of a look book all his own (no seriously, we have one, here) the many hairdos and don'ts of David Beckham have been well-documented. From mohawk through shaved head and blonde curtains, we think that Becks is only now really looking his best with that smooth 50s-inspired Essex quiff and designer stubble. Mmmm. Mmm. Mm! Lucky VB.

Rex Features

Having fancied Beckham for the best part of 15 years, it is odd looking back through the archives of his fine face to realise that actually his own version of his wife's infamous Pob, in hindsight, didn't look that great. Verdict? We ♥ Becks' shorter styles.

Rex Features

Brad PittAnother long-time crush, another haircut: No stranger to trying out a few different styles (remember when he died it peroxide blonde? LOL) we could love Brad through it all - including, this early Noughties shorter style.

Rex Features

Brad PittFor his role in World War Z, Brad – for no discernible reason – grew his salt 'n' pepper locks into this slicked longer style, which he even filmed a Chanel ad with (I mean, seriously.) His hair has seen better days, sorry Brad.Verdict? Another shocker; we thought this guy couldn’t put a follicle wrong – but alas, we were wrong, and he absolutely can. Inevitable.

Rex Features

Taylor LautnerAs we know and love him, the Twilight hunk's short style is almost as note-worthy as that mega-watt Hollywood smile.

Rex Features

Taylor LautnerBut Tay is no stranger to lengthier locks after sporting lanky raven ones for the first Twilight film. Verdict? That pre-wolf Twilight look makes him look about 12. He’s a great man, but let it be said, Taylor Lautner is not a manpunzel.

Rex Features

Ben BarnesBrit boy Ben Barnes is a bona fide dish and this swept-back shorter style only serves to confirm that.

Rex Features

Ben BarnesHowever, for pretty much every role Ben's ever had, we cannot think of one where he doesn't have – at least – a little bit of long hair. Verdict? Yup. Either, or. Let it be known; we’re definitely keen.

Colin FarrellBut it turns out that those Gallic good looks are also perfectly set off with a lengthy mane of glossy hair, too.Verdict? There’s no denying that Colin is a hunkosaurus-rex whatever hairstyle he has, but we reckon the shorter ‘do has the edge.

Rex Features

Chris HemsworthAussie babe Chris Hemsworth has quickly amassed an ardent and sizeable female following – and it’s not difficult to see why.

Christian BaleDespite having garnered a reputation as Hollywood's international man of tantrums, we're still big fans of Batman's clean-cut style.

Rex Features

Christian BaleWhile it turns out the method actor will go to any length for a role - including to the mid-shoulders - we applaud any man that can grow a ginger beard when they are, in fact, not ginger. Verdict? Bruce Wayne all the way.

Rex Features

James FrancoWe don't remember exactly when we first started fancying James Franco but we do know that it is the way of things and always will be.

Rex Features

James FrancoJames has had a fair few 'dos over the years - largely for movie roles (have you seen him in Spring Breakers?) - and in Pineapple Express his unkempt ratty locks are a bit of a turn off.Verdict? Oh, who are we kidding? It's James Franco, of course he can pull off manpunzel.
